His feeling is that technology and IT have generally had a negative effect on humanity. That we sit at keyboards, do without face-to-face interaction and have been increases in efficiency above all else when it comes to technical development. By focusing solely on artists dealing with digital technology, his aim is to show the that there are people working to great effect to provide
Carrying work by Chris Ashley, Scott Kildall, Paul La Rocque and Nathaniel Stern, the available works are, “exploring what digital technology and digital memory mean, what their impact is, good and bad, and how they are subtly changing the way we think and act”.
Claim by Scott Kildall. Kildall has worked to recreate 12 iconic moments from the history of performance art within the Second Life environment.
The gallery’s presence on the web is an important complement to its corporeal existence, showing and selling the works available, and complementing them with essays and other pieces of information. Shaughnessy hopes to work towards creating a larger virtual gallery in conjunction with other institutions to extend the reach of the art works further.

Stern works with a back-mounted laptop and a hand scanner to create images which record life from a millimetres’ perspective and explore the way that light works on objects, and the ways in which apparently ‘cold’ tools, such as the scanner, can convery the artist’s emotions.
